    It wasn't just a stock speculation bubble bursting. You seem to be missing that the unemployment rate was 25%. 1 in 4 people were out of work. The whole economy imploded.

    Edit: I see this is an old convo and @adoo already schooled you.

    That was largely fallout from the stock speculation bubble bursting and the subsequent overreaction.
